PortalS Of Next Generation

Ziel

Portals is a new term, synonymous with access point to resources and services on the Web. Typical services offered by portals include directory of resources, search facility, news, e-mail, phone, map information, and sometimes a community forum. These services generally rely on point-and-click on structured information like characters, still pictures or 2D graphics. The project intends to investigate, develop and standardize the building blocks for the next generation of portals. These building blocks include existing Web technologies, but also 3D computer graphics elements as in computer games, intelligent agents embodied in realistic avatars, new user-friendly interfaces and real-time audiovisual communications. The project will demonstrate how these EW technologies, integrated in a sample e-commerce application, allow an easier and more natural access to resources and services.

Objectives:
To develop building blocks for the next generation of portals and to demonstrate in a real-time application how they allow a more natural access to services. The building blocks are: 1) shared, dynamic and real-time virtual spaces; 2) Animation of realistic synthetic faces and bodies; 3) Software agents capturing human characteristics and learning user profiles; 4) Intuitive interfaces for navigation and interaction in information spaces; 5) Delivery of information with QoS monitoring.
The application is an E-commerce application allowing navigation in synthetic real sites populated with shops. In these sites, users can inspect goods, communicate with virtual or real humans and make transaction.

Work description:
The project is organized in two areas of work (1) the development of a technology and (2) the development of an application. These two areas are linked by an integration activity that releases periodically a consistent technology platform on which the application can be built. The five technology WPs will use heavily standards and contribute requirements, technical specifications and software to MPEG-4, FIPA and IETF. The project will also monitor other standardization activities from Web3D, W3C and ITU. The WP on multi-user technology will develop a unified approach for conferencing and sharing information in real-time virtual spaces and develop specific plug-ins on top of it. The media representation WP will implement and extend MPEG-4 representation to allow the construction of integrated portals, including talking virtual humans and synthetic music. The WP on software agents will adapt and extend the FIPA technology for the project's applications, and allow an MPEG-4 embodiment of agents. Human-compute interfaces, with their physical (vision system, motion system, integrated Hypermedia Interface) and scene description (extension of MPEG-4 BIFS) counterparts will be developed in a dedicated WP. Finally, the WP on Delivery will provide the needed mechanism to deliver the related information with management of QoS (Quality of Service) by extending existing infrastructure (ex: RTP/RTCP). The application WP will produce and maintain the technology platform in an Open Source fashion.

It will develop the application as follows:
1) Specification of application and user requirements;
2) Application development, with the latest release of the technology platform. Feedback to the technology platform developers;
3) Test and validation of the application in a realistic environment. Feedback to the application and technology platform developers.

Milestones:
T0+2: First Requirements. Technology development starts;
T0+6: First technology platform release, integrating state of the art technology. Applications development starts. Releases of the technology platform every six months with new tools developed by the project. Application releases every six months demonstrating functionality supported by the platform;
T0+21: Application beta release. Tests and evaluation begin. Fine tuning of application and technology platform;
T0+24: Project ends.
